Jay Taurima, an electric and unknown jumper, was stealing Ivan Pedroso\u2019s Olympic glory. There was silence in the narrow streets of Camag\u00fcey, but in just a few seconds there a roar was heard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEver since I have knowledge of sports I know what happened in Sydney. The last attempt, the tension, the record\u2026it was a hard-fought competition full of pressure, and I have realized that the only one who could have won like that was Pedroso. For me he will always be the best jumper in history, I feel represented with him,\u201d affirms Juan Miguel Echevarr\u00eda, who was only 25 months old when the Cuban Grasshopper immortalized his name in the Olympic books.<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen years after that dizzying night, the analogies and comparisons between Pedroso and Juan Miguel are the order of the day, since the then baby from Camag\u00fcey jumped from anonymity to fame and became the all-time youngest indoor world champion, which no one in La Guernica imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Tall and slim, vivacious and fast, Echevarr\u00eda grew up as a happy, daring, terse and very active child. \u201cThat is my way, I won\u2019t change it, I get it from my barrio, from my upbringing. I have been like that since I was a child and I will continue being like that,\u201d he says, on a time machine that transports him to his beginnings in track and field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA professor came to my school, Ernesto Lucas Ruiz, and he did several tests during the recess. I came out OK, and right at that very moment I decided to run. I was fast, I like sports and that world enticed me even more when I won three gold medals and a silver medal in my first junior tournament,\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n<p>That was in 2008, only a decade ago, precisely what Juan Miguel needed to take off from La Guernica to the Birmingham Stadium, where he became the indoor world champion at 19 and in 203 days. \u201cTime flies, but the road has been long and hard. I remember how bad I was in launchings and resistance when I started\u2026terrible, and I had to do it all as is demanded in the junior categories. Luckily, afterwards I stayed in the jumps. That changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">***<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, winter in Europe robed spring of a lot of days. Juan Miguel Echevarr\u00eda walked the streets of Germany wearing a woolen cap and gloves like a perfect stranger. Those who went by him only saw a black guy out of his natural environment, without imagining that they were in front of a future world champion.<\/p>\n<p>There, the young man talked all the time with Daniel Osorio, his \u201ccoach, physiotherapist, physician, friend and father,\u201d mainly looking for the tools to maintain his concentration in a large stadium. \u201cWe talked about many details, and that exchange was the best preparation for the World Championship. I learned and understood that if you have all the conditions and are not focused, things will never come out as you had thought.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And precisely that way, fully convinced that he could be better than the rest, Juan Miguel stretched in Birmingham up to 8.46 meters, the universal summit. He made his mind go blank, only concentrating in the running start and in his sequence of steps to reach the board, and he left an endless amount of specialists speechless, all of them aware that that was just a demonstration of his huge arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal is perfection and that represents a great deal of work. I have the tools, I\u2019m fast, tall, strong, powerful and I make an effort to polish the movements, strengthen the muscles and achieve greater synchronization,\u201d he affirms in a tone that seems to come from an acclaimed athlete.<\/p>\n<p>His jump, beyond placing him as a prodigy and one of the biggest promises worldwide, is proof that Cuban track and field is breathing and has talented and young standard bearers to stand up for a sports movement that, in general, generates more doubts than confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working to sweep to victory in the Barranquilla Central American Games and also thinking of the 2020 Olympics. We want to demonstrate to the people that they can continue trusting Cuban track and field,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_117949\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117949\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/juan-miguel-echevarria-mudial-atletismo-2018.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/juan-miguel-echevarria-mudial-atletismo-2018.jpg\" alt=\"Juan Miguel Echevarr\u00eda, winner of the Long Jump Cathegory in Athletism World Championship.

I\u2019m not concerned about the public\u2019s pressure, on the contrary, I enjoy it when people stand up when I jump, some to support me and others to see me lose. I have achieved the results calmly, everything can be attained little by little. I won a <a href=\"https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/noticia\/oro-bronce-cuba-mundial-atletismo\/\" target=\"_blank\">World Championship<\/a> when I was 19 and that\u2019s something important, it\u2019s true, but that won\u2019t last during all my career, now I have to stabilize and keep boosting my reputation,\u201d says Echevarr\u00eda, who doesn\u2019t seem to have any obsession, except for a detail: the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Tokyo, he bites his lip, knowing that the summer concert is the most important for any athlete. \u201cI\u2019m going to get there when I\u2019m 22, very young, with more strength, faster, more competitive maturity and I want to achieve a result. Being farsighted is not bad,\u201d he specifies, although he frowns when I remind him that the Olympic title slipped through Ivan Pedroso\u2019s hands until he was 28.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAthletes have to know how to win and lose. I\u2019m going to win, but I am aware that I won\u2019t always be able to do so, because anyone can have a bad day or because the rivals have prepared very strongly and have all the possibilities. But you can be sure that when it\u2019s my time to lose I\u2019ll only look for my mistakes and will interpret them to rectify them, without fighting with anyone, because in the end one is always the most responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>HOW OLD WERE THE ALL-TIME JUMPERS WHEN THEY WERE JUAN MIGUEL ECHEVARR\u00cdA\u2019S AGE?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Juan Miguel Echevarr\u00eda<\/p>\n<p>His best record (outdoor): 8.40 meters (at 19 and in 217 days)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Iv\u00e1n Pedroso (Olympic champion and four-time world champion)<\/p>\n<p>He jumped 8.41 meters at 19 and in 143 days<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Carl Lewis (Olympic champion four times in a row)<\/p>\n<p>He jumped 8.62 meters at 19 and in 345 days<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Mike Powell (world record holder)<\/p>\n<p>At 20, his best record was 8.06 meters.
